USB cable - Solution

[mosho]

Hi every one!

As you can see, all us Diamond owners has a Weird USB conection, is not so standard comparing to the Mini USB!

BUT! IT FITS, and IT WORKS ANYWAY!

I was on a trip, and forgot my USB cabel, i couldn't charge or use the Phone as a modem, så a go the idea, lookt att some pictures and, tryid out!

I could charge my battery and i could use my phone as a modem.

Here is the picture of a USB 8-pin mini USB ( HTC USB ) And a Standard Mini USB 4-pin.

I guess that the other pins are for audio and other stuff

Try it!

Give the guy a break. I remember when I first tried my charger and USB cable that I had with a previous HTC phone and found out it worked. I plugged it in to my Diamond VERY gingerly and winced, hoping not to fry my phone. Hallalujah! I remembered saying to myself. Now I don't have to buy another charger or cable!

I'm nominating you for funniest avatar awards! At least we'll all be able to take you seriously.

But in regards to your comment, yeah as long as the voltage is the same you're generally pretty safe. The ampage rating don't tend to mean that much as the device will only draw what it needs (in the case that your charger is rated at 1000mAH but your device draws less than that). In the case your charger can't provide enough ampage then I believe the charging process simply takes longer that it would with the 'correct' charger.

If the voltage is different then you can cause serious damage to your device and who knows you could theoretically start a fire.

Rejoice! I've been bitching all morning about me forgetting the cable at work, and now for the weekend it's low on power. I've been browsing sites trying to figure out what cable i needed to order and i came up short - except for ordering an original which wasn't in stock.

Consider this a 'thanks' and a bump :)
